Come join the Alan Turing Year Challenge from 20 June 23:09 UTC – 23 June 23:09 UTC. It has already started (even though the time to start hasn't happened yet!), sorry to those who may have wanted to run this the entire time. This challenge is running the Generalized Fermat Prime Search. There are CPU and CUDA clients, although the Nvidia card must be double precision capable (Geforce GTX 600 and GT 600M series GPUs, Geforce GTX 500 and 500M series GPUs (550Ti will require some underclocking of memory and/or extremely robust cooling to make stable), Geforce GTX 400 and 400M series GPUs, Geforce GTX 260 or above only (260, 275, 280, 285, 295), Tesla C2000 series GPUs, and Tesla C1000 series GPUs). No ATI client for this run.

Come join a few days of crunching and have some fun!

Nevermind, I read June and thought July. That's what I get after sleeping for only 5 hours last night!

Just a heads up a project has just had a shutdown announcement so any badge hunters you need to hurry to get any remaining badges done.http://www.primegrid.com/forum_thread.php?id=2727#26564Cullen/Woodall Sieve has been sieved to optimal depth and will be closed on September 1 2012

Anyone who wants to join in a year end challenge, Primegrid is doing the Winter Solistice Challenge. From the PrimeGrid website:

A 3 day (18-21 Dec) Winter Solstice Challenge is being offered on the Proth Prime Search (Sieve) application. 32 & 64 bit builds are available for Mac, Linux, and Windows as well as CUDA/ATI (OpenCL) for the GPU.

Looks like I have my default set to PPS Sieve for this. Are there any other areas I should be focusing on instead? I have a GT 620 and GT 240.

This is really all I can get away with at home. Our sump pump is still running like crazy from the water table rise due to the April flooding. That cranks up the electric bill. And now with A/C season in effect, yeah. It's ouch time.
